Little has announced a revamp of its app to include features that address fast-changing technological needs in the Kenyan market.
Speaking in Nairobi during the announcement, Little Chief Executive Officer Kamal Budhabhatti noted most companies are looking for a one-stop-shop for different services to save time and reduce paperwork which comes with for instance the preparation of invoices for different vendors.
At a click of a button, one can now access cutting-edge services in transport, parcel delivery, entertainment, and e-wallet.
“Following the lessons from Covid-19 pandemic, companies are turning to technology for different purposes, at Little innovation is at the core of our work and we are filling in by providing a one-stop platform for different services,” Budhabhatti said.
“We have upgraded the Little App from just offering the ride-hailing services to a one-stop-shop now addressing different challenges companies face, the added features are a plus to our over 1,200 customers and others aspiring to join us,” he added.
Launched six years ago as a company that only offered a platform for users to connect with taxi services, Little has evolved to offer a number of services to suit the needs and wants of different customers.
Migrating from Little Cab to the little app, the platform has allowed different users to access services from different portfolios available on the platform. The main divisions under the retail category are transport, delivery services, entertainment, and e-Wallet.
Speaking during the event, Safaricom Chief Business Officer Chris Senanu noted that Super App such as the Little App is the way forward.
